The Air Force has decided to reduce award fees to Boeing because the company’s work on next-generation Global Positioning System satellites—GPS IIF—reportedly is more than $260 million over budget and three years behind schedule. USAF announced earlier this week that its review of the program turned up problems prompting it to delay launch of the first GPS IIF by a year, while it considered other actions. The Air Force has not yet said just how much Boeing will have to forfeit.
Airman 1st Class Marcus White-Allen concocted a story to cover up that he fired his M18 9mm pistol into Airman Braden Lovan’s chest killing him on July 20, two Airmen from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, WY testified during separate courts martial proceedings on Oct. 30-31.
